Thread: Sealing JNATs? Whaddya mean by 'laquer'?

All my stones have shellac sealer on them. I could not be more pleased.
First coat should be 1pound solution then three coats of two pound solution. Again 1 pound then another three coats of 2 pound solution then finish with last coat of 1 pound solution.
You can do more but I have found this is good for me. The reason for the one pound solution in between is to smooth previouse coats. Even if you use a very,very fine brush. I learned that from woodworkers and is invaluable to get a really smooth finish. I only use fresh solution made from flakes. Bullseye is ok but not on par to the fresh solution.
Kind of like real japanese wagyu 5A stake copared to choice albertsons grain fed. At the end the little extra effort is well worth the time and investment. That is why they use it on 250,000 dollar furniture and equally expensive musical instruments, they have not found anything that works as good and protects. Believe me they would use it in a hart beat.
Urushi is very nice looking to but, even more work than shellac and I am very allergic to poison oak so for that reason alone I stay away, or I would use that. I like to keep it real.
